The alternative is simple: decentralize the Internet, regulate Google for abuse of dominant position. Its size and power makes it completely unavoidable now and force users to work for them. One cannot have basic access to Internet websites and services without providing Google with personal data or work for them. If Google wasn't so big and did not collect/treat such a huge amount of personal data, we would a choice between multiple providers. To read some articles, I am required to help Google improve its self driving company (Waymo "identify cars in the picturs", its OCR algo (Google Books, "write the two words"), its Maps service ("find house numbers" on Street View), etc. This free work makes Google increasingly competitive vs the alternatives, so Google can continue offering "free" services (like Recaptcha) and further compel users to work for them. You simply don't have a choice.
